Hello and Welcome to Positive Change Coaching!
I'd like to share some information with you. I have met many people -- from different
cultural backgrounds and different economic lifestyles -- who have had a "less-than-
nurturing" upbringing and who were having difficulty finding joy, peace, and balance in
their lives. I include myself in that mix. While writing my Master's thesis, I enrolled in
a Life Skills Coaching Program, where I trained to become a Life Skills Coach, and that
was the most profound and pivotal experience of my life . Several years later, I invested in
becoming certified as a Personal Life Coach and then as a Recovery Coach.
In all the education I have taken, I find that the coaching courses gave me the best return
on investment of any education I have taken. How come? There are several reasons: (1)
coaching prepared me to be effective and successful in both my personal and professional
life; (2) the coaching skills were instrumental in my success as a teacher of high risk
youth; (3) coaching is a business that I love, because I love helping people to help and
empower themselves; (4) I love owning and operating my own business; and (5) most
importantly, because it was through coaching that I learned who I truly am and what I am
truly capable of.
My Mission and Purpose: Coaching is life-enriching and empowering, and sharing what I
have learned is my mission in life. My mission complements my purpose in life, which is,
quite simply, to make a positive difference in the lives of others. I can achieve my mission
and purpose through my coaching business, much more readily than I could as a teacher.
So, a few years ago, I chose to retire from teaching to build a coaching business, where I
could be free to coach, teach coaching skills, share other information, run workshops,
attend marketing events and expos, take other coaching courses to continue improving
and expanding my skills, and do public speaking.
While doing all this, I had an ultimate vision in my mind of creating a wellness centre
where people could come and participate in healing, self-empowering, community-
minded, and team-building workshops. So, I kept my heart and eyes open to possible
connections with others who shared my passion for a holistic wellness and healing centre.
While on my quest, I was blessed to meet Rosa Medicine Traveller of Night Eagle
Consultants, Leonard McCallum and Brad Sargent of White Thunderbird Healing, and
Marcel Gour and Randy McGhee of the Lazy M Lodge in Alberta. All of us share a vision
of creating a safe place for people to heal and grow holistically: emotionally, physically,
spiritually, and mentally. So we decided to collaborate and offer a selection of
(non-medical) healing and empowerment programs in 2012 at the Lazy M Lodge. So, that
is what we have done, and if you visit my Events page, you'll see and find links to a list of
what we offer and are participating in.
In closing, I invite you to call me if you'd like to ask any questions or just to chat and get
to know me a little. I'll look forward to hearing from you and perhaps to working with you soon.
